PEACEFUL FEELING In EUROPE.
THE STRIKE SITUATION WORSE TO-DAY



That Peace Will he Prcscrved. =
Special Cable Dispxtch TO THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Feb 5-Au the talk Is stu or war.
The Spectator begins an article on the subject:
'sThere Is nothing whatever In the news this week
TO modify the belief we expressed last saturday
that the balance OF the probabilities is In favor OF
speedy war" The Spectator writes thoughtfully
about foreign politics, but I'm this case n grows
daily more difficult 10 see what grounds such a
belief can rest Assurances OF peace are the order
OF the day. The French nation have acted during
the whole scare with admirable self-possession It
is preposterous TO suppose that they have any in
tention TO attack Germany. Germany has eyi-
dent temptations TO attack France but ft is little
less than absurd 10 suppose she would venture upon
such an outrage an unproyoked invasion. The
easiest explanation is still that the German army
bill Is

A very serious symptom OF much confusion ex-
lists here concerning knglands supposed guaranty
OF the neutrality OF Belgium. As matter or fact,
oy the treaty or 1853, no power was bound 10 de-
fend the violation or Belgian territory. IL was In
consequence OF this that Lord Granville arranged
with the king OF Prussia the treaty OF 1870 pedg-
Ing both parties 10 resist an invasion OF Belgium
by France This expired year after the peace of
Paris. None other OF a similar nature has Of
course been made.

The Rejection OF Matthews.
rrrus nm A SorrrurpG prun~par

Mr.. Barksdale said yesterday, speaking OF the
Matthews case, TO STAR reporter: sThe Senate
did right to reject the appointment OF Matthews.
1t was following the bad example which had been
set in appointing Fred. Douglass; but it was
worse. because Matthews was a nonresident OF
the District. The appointment Is not regarded
with tavOr in the south. The whites do not think
it was fit to have been made, and it does not con-
ciliaIe the cOlOred element"

Revenue Reduction at Its Last Gasp.
THE FINAL KICK EXPECTED TO BE MADE ON MONDAY.
1t is generally believed at the Capitol to-day that
Mr.. Carlisles refusal to harmonize with Mr. Ran
dali upon the Randall basis will give the protec-
zionist democrats an excuse for going no further
with their movement to reduce the revenue this
session. 1t is thought probable that on Monday
somebody Will be recognized by the Speaker to
make motion to suspend the rules and pass u
bill taking the tax on tobacco. This proposition
it is thought cannot get the two thirds vote neces
sary to carry 1t in this way, and that will end the
matter for this session.

seriously objected TO the match, crossed the pom

kept the girl imprisoned and sued I'm replevin for
her. Reeves proved that the action was without
cause, and that the girl was really msrr1agea0lei

SKETCH OF REPRESENTATIVE REAGAN.
The election OF Mr.. Reagan to succeed Mr. Maxey
in the Senate takes from the House one OF its most
striking characters. Mr.. Reagan is one OF the first
men strangers in the galleries ask have pointed
out to them. He sits about in the middle Of the
first section OF seats on the democratic side. He
generally sits silently and thoughtfully, tearing
pieces Of paper in small bits, which he scatters
upon the floor, or making "cats-cradles" with q
string across his fingers. Generally there is an
agricultural report or some other pamphlet on his
desk, and IL there is anything going on in the
House which particularly interests or excites him
he Will tear OF page at q time, fold it very de-
nberately and tear it into narrow strips like
lampl1ghters, and when he has several OF these
strips tears them tranSverSely into squares, scat
tedng them on the floor. Then he win brush the
small pieces on his lap and take another page

is also great stckler for the constitution which,
being an ex-member Of the confederate cabinet,
has made him the victim OF many shafts of irony

Office OF trust since he was twenty years Old. He
first appeared in the House in l847 serving two
years He was then elected district judge for six
years, resigned, and was reelected. In 1857 he
was again elected to the House OF Representatives
and remained in Congress until the secession Oc-
Cured. He was elected to the secession c0nven-

THE MANNING IMPEACHMENT
NATTER
MIR. Weaver Denies that He Denied
knowledge Of the Movement.

Representative Weaver told STAR reporter to-
day that he was misquoted as denying the state
ment in THE STAR that there was movement in
certain quarters to get up resolutions of impeach-
ment against Secretary Manning. He said he de-
MED having authorized the publication, but did
not deny the truth Of the statements. On the
contrary, he declared that proposition to take
some very decided action with relation to the Sec
retarys reply was
UNDER VERY SERIOUS CONSIDERATION
The fact is that there are great many silver
men in the House who have been talking about
Impeachment, and several have gone seriously into
the matter, or at least declared that they were
serious in 1t. Just what action the committee on
banking and currency will take with relation to
the Secretarys reply Is not known. 1t Is not likely
however, that they will take such decided action
as the members who want to impeach the Secre-
tary propose. The democratic party cannot, OF
course, permit the matter TO go that far.

LONDON, Nov. 5 --Raifour, chief secretary
for Ireland, addressed tremendous crowd
Of Conservatives at Birm ingham Friday
night His speech was mainly a defense of
the governments Irish policy and concluded
with the declaration that the ministry was
resolved to proceed boldly and firmly with
the work it had undertaken in Ireland, and
equally determined to bring it to good and
satisfactory ending He admitted that the
task would would be attended with consider
able difficulty, but said that the end in view
was entirely possible and the government
perfectly capable of its successful accom-
plishment
Balfour expressed the hope that at the next
session of parliament England and Scotland
would receive fair share of the legislation.
Still be believed that Ireland would be the
foremost problem in the mind of every one
taking an interest in the fortunes of the coun-
try. The question was not whether Ireland
. should be governed by thes English parlia-
ment, or a parliament of her own, but
whether she should be governed at all in ac-
cordance with the principles which had hith-
erto regulated the action of every civilized
stata
